The Asus VG278H’s built-in 3D emitter makes for a less cluttered desktop. (Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) When it debuted a few years ago, the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit required four components to work properly: 3D glasses, an Nvidia graphics card, a compatible display, and a separate, USB-connected 3D emitter.
